No one knows who gave the orders No one asks about the crime No one looks behind the curtain No one questions why The only time we've got Is right about now I cross my heart I take the vow I'll never turn I'll never bend I'm with you now Until the end Tonight's the test Tonight's the time I am the punishment That fits the crime I'll break the bricks I'll pick the locks I don't got nothin' But I'll give what I got I'll never turn I'll never bend I'm with you now Until the end Ten trials whose outcomes All fixed from the start Nine judges sitting counting Their money in the dark Eight towers of iron Surround the desert town On a cold December morning Seven martyrs knocked them down Six fathers still waiting For their six sons to come home Five mothers who know better And accept that they're gone Four years I've been hunted Still I breathe free Three times I shot the sheriff And did not spare the deputy Two prayers I'm praying Until we're together One promise I'm keeping Tonight and forever I'll never turn I'll never bend I'm with you now Until the end
